Statement: This picture means the world to me. It is of the tree that I have seen almost every day for 7 years. I've made friends under this tree. I've lost friends under this tree. I've gossiped and small-talked under this tree. The world around this tree doesn't matter to me as much as this tree. The community that lives, works, or just hangs out around this tree is the best community that I have ever stepped into. This tree is beautiful, and I love it. This picture is what the word community means to me.

Beloved Community
